We have had a great first term in 4W ranging from creating and writing about our own dinosaurs to visiting the pantomime. We really enjoyed learning about the Ancient Egyptians and were fascinated by the mummy on our trip to Derby Museum. In maths, we are trying really hard to improve our speed and accurate recall of the times tables. What a great start !!
Project Earth
What a fantastic performance!!!! Year four were very professional and engaging in our performance of Project Earth. Thank you to all the parents who attended we are sure you loved it as much as us.
Paul Cookson Visit
The whole school had a great time joining in and laughing very loudly along with Paul Cookson who shared lots of his very funny poems with us. It was very interesting to learn about where his ideas come from. Year 4 had a particularly good time participating in writing workshops with Paul creating our own fantastic poems. A big thank you to Haydn P.T.A. who helped fund this fantastic day.
Thank you for helping others by raising money for Comic Relief.
Year 3 had an amazing day learning all about the Romans in Britain at Lincoln Castle.

Welcome to 2M!
Weird and Wonderful Plants!
In Science we have been learning all about weird and wonderful plants.
We have become experts, we know what plants need to survive and how important they are in the food chain.
We have planted our very own magic beans in class and have been busy researching and finding facts about the deadly Venus Fly Trap plant!
We even have two Venus Fly Traps in class named Snappy and Happy!
Take a look!
Nonsense!
This term we have been having so much fun reading super silly nonsense poems.
We have learnt fabulous songs and poems written by Michael Rosen who we think is
hilarious, the poem ‘ Chocolate Cake’ is our favourite.
We have also learnt and performed some amazing poems from the book
‘The Booktime Book of Fantastic First Poems!'
Here are some of our own silly poems based on the poem ‘ My name is…’ by Pauline Clarke.
Have a listen we think you will find them very funny!
My name is...
We have been having lots of fun in Year 2 learning all about our local environment in or “Welcome to NG5“ topic. We have been busy learning all about different types of houses, studying maps of Sherwood and designing our own maps. The children have created some awesome structures of their homes for their homework project too. Take a look!
In literacy we have been reading lots of fabulous books based on letters, we have read "Dear Greenpeace" by Simon James which is all about a little girl called Sophie who finds a whale in her pond.
Earlier in the week, we had a mysterious creature of our own appear in the school garden and they left us some clues. After investigating, the children worked out it was an elephant called Edward that Mrs Mason has been feeding. He’s a very messy elephant and he left lots of nouns, proper nouns, verbs and adjectives in the garden for us to find. We had great fun finding them and using them to make silly sentences.
YEAR 1 2016-2017
What a busy arts week we have had! We based our work on an artist called Linda Calvert Jacobson, have you heard of her? We have practised some many different skills this week including watercolours, sketching, observational drawing, collaging, singing and even photography on the ipads! Come into our classroom and see all our beautiful work!
On the 21st June we had an amazing trip to the National Space Centre. We hunted for aliens, participated in a workshop and even watched a show in the planetarium!

Welcome back to our Summer term in Year 1. I am very pleased to be back and have missed the children lots. We have changed our class to 1W and the children are doing brilliantly at remembering to call me Mrs Warren!
This half term we will be focusing on the topic Medieval Times. We have lots of exciting things coming up, including a medieval banquet, keep your eyes peeled for the letter coming out. After half term we will be focusing on the topic Animals and will provide more information for you nearer the time.

We went exploring around school for signs of Spring. We then painted beautiful blossom trees which are proudly displayed in our classroom!
Here are some photos taken during our fantastic topic about dinosaurs. We hope you enjoyed our assembly!
During a cold morning in February, we followed mystery clues to go on a hunt for dinosaur eggs. We found some in the school playground and made nests for them!
